"Joel Russo, I don't want to fall out with you over something that doesn't exist. Can we just let this go?"
"Okay. It won't be mentioned again."
Joel Russo masked the darkness in his eyes.
There was not a hint of hesitation in his response to Arabella Vanderbilt, as his deep voice firmly fell, followed by a gentle kiss atop her hair.
It won't be mentioned again.
Even if that child really was Travis's, it was his issue to deal with.
Simply because of a child that had nothing to do with him, he had let this woman become so distressed.
He naturally would not intervene anymore.
The matter of Linn was put to rest, and neither Joel Russo nor Arabella Vanderbilt brought it up again.
The car started again, and Arabella suggested they go shopping for groceries at the supermarket first.
"Not today," Joel Russo suddenly said.
"Why? It's the weekend."
"I've upset you; I don't deserve to eat the meals you cook."
